# Workflows: automatic cross-posting

> How PostOnce workflows copy posts from one account to many, what the workflow page and settings tabs do, and how to pause, edit or delete a workflow.

A workflow watches one **source** account and publishes a copy of each matching post to one or more **destinations**. One source with several destinations is a single workflow. To create one, see [Set up your first workflow](/help/getting-started).

## The workflow page

Open [Workflows](https://postonce.to/dashboard/workflows) and click **View** on a workflow.

</Frame>

1. **Publish automatically** turns copying of new posts on or off. "Last checked" shows when PostOnce last looked at the source.
2. **Check now** looks for new posts right away.
3. **Bulk schedule** reposts older posts on a schedule. See [Repost existing posts](/help/repost-existing-posts).
4. **Settings** opens the workflow settings.

Below, each post shows its status and the platforms it reached. Use the filter to show only **Failed**, **Skipped** or **Scheduled** posts. Click **Retry** on a failed post after fixing the cause.

## Workflow settings

Click **Settings** on the workflow page. Changes apply to posts that haven't published yet when you click **Save settings**.

    </Frame>

    Choose which source posts the workflow copies: keyword filters, video quality, duplicates and a full history sync. See [Filters and duplicates](/help/filters-and-duplicates).
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Destinations">

    </Frame>

    Each destination account has its own tab: caption options, time between posts and platform settings. See [Captions for each platform](/help/captions) and [How fast posts publish](/help/publishing-timing).

  <Tab title="Content">

    </Frame>

    Add an **Intro video** before or an **Outro video** after every copied video, for example a call to action. Each clip can be MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 15 seconds and 50 MB.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Publish">

    </Frame>

    Choose new posts, existing posts or both, and whether new posts go out **Immediately** or **On the schedule**. See [How fast posts publish](/help/publishing-timing) and [Repost existing posts](/help/repost-existing-posts).
  </Tab>

## Pause, edit or delete a workflow

* **Pause**: switch the workflow off in the list. Queued posts are paused, not deleted. When you switch it back on, new posts resume and existing posts are rescheduled.
* **Edit**: open the **⋮** menu and choose **Edit workflow** to change the source or destinations.
* **Delete**: open the **⋮** menu and choose **Delete workflow**. Posts that haven't published are discarded. Posts already published stay on the platforms, and their history stays in PostOnce.

A workflow can't be switched on while its source account needs reconnecting. [Reconnect it](/help/reconnect-an-account) first.

## Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can one source post to several platforms?">
    Yes. Add every destination to the same workflow. It still counts as one workflow.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will A → B and B → A loop forever?">
    No. PostOnce doesn't copy posts it published itself back to their source, and its duplicate checks catch recent copies. To be safe, use a keyword filter on one side.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I repost to the same account?">
    Yes, for existing posts. A workflow can take older posts from an account and republish them to the same account on a schedule.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I use another cross-posting tool too. Will posts appear twice?">
    Yes, if both tools copy the same posts. Turn off the other tool's automation for the accounts PostOnce handles.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many workflows can I have?">
    Paid plans include unlimited workflows. The free trial includes 3, and paused workflows count toward that.
  </Accordion>
